Walker Martin - Bruno, chief of police

The first installment in a wonderful new series that follows the exploits of Benoît Courrèges, a policeman in a small French village where the

rituals of the café still rule. Bruno -- as he is affectionately nicknamed -- may be the town's only municipal policeman, but in the hearts and

minds of its denizens, he is chief of police.

Bruno is a former soldier who has embraced the pleasures and slow rhythms of country life -- living in his restored shepherd's cottage; patronizing

the weekly market; sparring with, and basically ignoring, the European Union bureaucrats from Brussels. He has a gun but never wears it; he has

the power to arrest but never uses it. But then the murder of an elderly North African who fought in the French army changes everything and

galvanizes Bruno's attention: the man was found with a swastika carved into his chest.
